COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONBottle: Filtered.
A classic beer of true quality, Spooks Ale is characterised by its huge biscuity malt palate, derived from three traditional roasted barley malts used in this brew, giving a glorious deep red hue. The excitingly complex malty flavours are wonderfully balanced by a huge citrusy, hoppy bitterness and aroma from a particularly fruity hop added at four stages in the brewing process.

Bottle, from Morrisons Scunthorpe. Chestnut brown, fluffy lasting white head and moderate condition. Big bready nose with hints of wood smoke and peppery spices, pleasant roasted bitterness apparent in the mouth with a suggestion of chocolate, some muted berry fruitiness. Finish is initially dry with a lasting chocolate bitterness and some malt.

They have had more fun writing the label on the bottle than to brew the beer, as the description on the label was full of fantasy and mystery. The brew was rather bland with a burnt bitterness that does not let up any malt flavor.
